The Swedish government has sanctioned the culling of five wolf families, amounting to 30 wolves, citing a need to manage the population, despite significant opposition.
Critics warn that the decision to halve the Swedish wolf population undermines conservation efforts, particularly given the species' history of fragility and endangered status.
With a marked drop in wolf numbers due to heightened hunting pressure, environmentalists argue that preventive measures for farmers should be prioritized over increasing wolf culling.
The European Commission's potential revisions to the habitats directive signal a shift in attitude towards wolf protection, a move that could further compromise their favorable conservation status.
